In order to receive Veterans Benefits, you must submit a Point Park Veteran’s Benefit Card every semester. If a Veterans Benefits Card is not submitted each semester, enrollment certification will not be sent to the Veterans Administration (V.A.). All students must see the certifying official if any schedule changes (course withdrawals, complete withdrawals, etc.) are made.
The Office of the Registrar provides correct and timely information to the V.A. regarding a student’s academic program and current enrollment status, and will make every reasonable effort to assist students. It is important to understand that University officials are not V.A. employees. It’s more efficient for the student to deal directly with the experts in the V.A. Education Benefits Office.
To discuss the type and amount of education benefits available to you, please contact the V.A. Education Benefits Office at 1-888-442-4551 or visit http://www.gibill.va.gov. Information is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Veterans of the Armed Forces receive a DD Form 214, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty, when they are separated from service. Veterans who use Form 22-1990 to submit a claim for educational benefits should provide to the Veterans Administration a V.A. Certified Copy of the DD Form 214 as supporting documentation. Veterans who have been released from active duty since October 1979 should submit the Page 4 Member Copy, which contains certain information regarding the individual’s period of service that is essential to the V.A.’s determination of eligibility for benefits. If the original copy is submitted, the V.A. will return it, but it is advised that a certified copy be provided.
